not include against Indians

Now I get about a week and a half off before summer classes start.

hardy is out with a sore wrist today

My day is complete. Thank you.

I will refer to Kevin Slowey as Kyle Slowey at some point during the season. The name Kyle is etched into my mind as far as he’s concerned. His mother should’ve named him Kyle.

I’m using Sean Casey (a.k.a. my work computer) again today.

is everyone recovering from sicknesses still, or better?

morneau double

and let Rick know how long it is

…im not sure what it is but something isnt right

my play by play is going to be sporadic

I don’t give a hoot about BABiP right now. Porcello is just bad.

Now would be a good time for your predictions to come true

2-0 MN, runner on third

the first inning.

going to 2nd inning

I’ve got some dumb appointment.

Got At Bat running on my iPhone but I’m crunching for a big project and final due tomorrow. I’ll pop in for the big plays.

Ouch

single cause the guy can’t handle it

I have no idea what to do with my life tonight

hit it to shortstop…ugh

Ground ball pitcher or flyball pitcher?

I’m going to eat lunch and contemplate seppuku.

going to bottom 2nd

slow tapper back to porcello

I wonder what is the average life of a ball being in the game? I’m guessing it’s like 2.3 pitches.

The Amish shortstop

Like the house by the side of the road

Thanks, Ernie!

8 pitch inning

for not allowing punto on base and therefore sparing me more tears

I was still trying to figure out if the ball was gone

since it’s still in the crapper

30 mph winds have nothing on his heavenly bat

At least he took his hood off

who are we…the twins?

time for pushups

Avila? HR? Same sentence?

And did Damon hurt himself? He didn’t leave the batter’s box

span out at second. kelly knocks down a ball and the tigers almost get a double play

I want to see that replay again

I brought this up earlier in the thread, but I am proposing everyone now calling for being “Ernie’d” instead of Rec’d. I know its the bar gets a bit higher with this type of prestige attached, but hopefully one comment a game can live up to Ernie’s game full of greatness

end inning

i need to get my laundry going…i’m out of clothes

Hell, it was August until I entered a Verlander-start gamethread

I know the Brooklyn dodgers was one, not sure of the others…Orioles, maybe?

Miggy hits a missile out of the park - barely, but i"ll take it

We don’ need no steenkin’ baserunners!

…ernie tribute

i missed a miggy homer? sadness

I’m pretty sure that’s the kind of damage Miggy’s homer did as it flew by. (Props to the dude who caught it on the fly).

more pushups

Miggy’s HR did not tie the game OR give the Tigers the lead. He is so un-clutch, it’s not even funny.

.. but I would not mind if Slowey threw a couple of these balls as he http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100503&content_id=9766276&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

some twin is out somehow. and raburn is in for damon

…..error time????

according to official tigs twitter

boesch misplayed it

punto scores on a single

walk, error, error, puke

It’s 5-2.

….2 out walks always piss me off…this is why!!!

But this outfield is pretty much there.

KNAPP: “A few more pitches, Kid and then the bus to Ohio will be here”

avila’s throw was just a little bit too late

and porcello hits hudson

bases loaded

blarg.

For Damon.

the screen just switched to two other games

leave the bases loaded. 5-2 MN

For a minute I saw Blue Jays and Indians

I’d rather be watching something else.

As they were waiting for that pop-up I was wondering who was going to drop it

…..lets get some more runs

The one thing they needed to avoid in this series was a sweep…

And I’m beginning to hate Target Field.

not sure if it’ll be an error on span or not.

ugh

….Mr Popout delivers

be back. Hopefully all of the Twins will have contracted anal fissures or Dengue Fever by the time I return.

2 twins away

nice inning there

Made with cheap Vanilla and Expensive Root-Beer.

Frank Viola.

It’s hot today. I likey.

Play nice.

HR Cabrera!!!
